My first 20 rounds

Kinoons · 07-18-2012, 06:07 AM

Two hours later, after a slow and steady pace to ensure I knew how this all worked, I have my first 20 7.62x54R to show for my effort.

I'll pickup the auto powder adapter and auto primer to make it a bit faster, since I now have a general idea how this goes.

Is that a folding TV dinner stand?

Whatever works though, right?!

You should post an update once you get out, and fire them. I want to see how they turned out.

Yes it is a tv stand -- it was a field expedient solution until I can get my garage workbench set up.

I'm hoping to make it out this weekend, so we'll see how they perform.

No qualms on my part brother. I don't even have the space for that otherwise I would already be reloading.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully everything goes well, and you start cranking them out.
What are you shooting? m91/30?

I have a Finn m28/76 that won't digest anything but lapua and Norma brass, so Ive began reloading so it isn't $2 everytime I pull the trigger. I'll be following with Brit 303 next.

I made one of these. Keep the height as low as possible and extend the base out more to give you better leverage or the whole box can tilt forward.

Grats Kinoons on your reloading adventure and also kudos for the port-a-bench solution.

From one reloading addict I caution you... rolling your own is highly habit forming.

Awesome job dude.

Who did you buy your .310 bullets from, what grain? Which die set are you using, redding?

Kinoons · 07-18-2012, 04:45 PM

I'm loading for a Finn mosin with a 309 bore, so I've got 308 bullets. Using lee dies and 165 grains bullets.

Midway has good prices on blem bullets. That may help in buying small amounts to see if small differences in bullet dia. can help your accuracy.
